Hammond students enjoy shootout

HAMMOND - The Hammond Central School student body began their Thanksgiving festivities and got into the spirit of sharing early last Tuesday with a Turkey Shootout.

Current Red Devil basketball players and future marksmen-ladies also got a chance to show how they valued good foul shooting in the contest where the top girl and boy shooters in each class won a turkey.

Some of the shooters donated their turkeys back to aid other families.

It is very exciting for all the kids and they had a blast doing it. Hammond Central had 45 turkeys donated from the community and surrounding area, said Hammond Athletic Director Shawn Dack.

The funds donated will all go towards the kids in whatever they may need.
